Application tiled April l, 1913. Serial to. ltl.'

To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, EDGAR H. COTTRELL, a citizen of the United Sta-tes, and resident of 1Westerly, in the county of lWashington and State of Rhode lsland, have invented a new and useful lniprovement in Newspapers, of which the following is a specificai tion.

ZES

In newspapers where the pages are approgiimately from sixteen to eighteen inches wide and twenty-one to twenty-three niches long and the sheets are folded parallel with thecolumns of printed matter, it iswell known that because of the very large size of the leaves, the location of the fold, and the poor quality of the paper used, it is extremely difficult to properly handle the paper because of the tendency of the free portions of the leaves above the point held at one side of the aper to fall over. This tendency is extends paper when the paperv is unfolded. Furthermore, it is well known that when the paper is unfolded it is extremely difficult, awkward and tiresome to properly hold the same for perusal and that it is also very difficult to fold back a leaf because of the tendency of the leaf to fall over by gravity 1n the wrong direction and because of the large size of the leaf.

The object of my invention is ,to overcome the above defects and disadvantagesy by providing a newspaper which shall have its leaves secured together along a line transversely through the middle of the printed page, Isaid newspa er being provided with a fold along sai line. rllhis arrangement renders the newspaper very convenient for handling and reading, the newspaper being at all times kept within a reasonable size.

A further useful feature of my invention is the arrangement of the prin-ted mattti l matter on the back yter whereby the paper may be read from beginning to end by turning the leaves over successively in the same direction.l

Practical embodiments of my invention are represented in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front view of one form of my invention with the lower right hand corners of the leaves folded over to illustrate the reverse arrangement of the printed page to that on the front page, Fig. 2 is a face View of the newspaper with the lower half of the-first d to both sides of theleaf turned over to show the arrangement of the printed matter on the lower .right hand. corner of the thifd leafbeing also shown turned over'to illustrate the arrangement of the printed mat- -ter on page 3, lFig. 3 is a front View of a newspaper showing a second forni of my invention in which a space is left through the printed matter along the fold, the lower right hand corners of the leaves being turned over, and lFig. l is a face view of this form exhibiting page 2 and a portion of the leaf turned over to exhibit part ofv page 3.

lin the forn shown in Figs.' l and'2, no' decided space is left across kthe pages along the fold, while in Figs. 3 and l a decided space isleft along the fold and 'on the interior pages a heading is provided for the' lower half of the page'. rlhe newspaper in both of these forms 1s shown as having its leaves secured .together along a line l transversely through the middle of the printed pages and the newspaper is provided with a fold along said line. The front printed page is4 printed on the front side of one leaf and the back rinted page is-print/ed on the back side ofp the last leaf. 'llhe intermediate pages are each printed partly on one leaf and partly on another leaf. The' arrangement of the printed matter is such that the newspaper may be read fronti begins ning to end by turning the leaves over successively in the' same direction. To accomplish this result, the back page 'is printed in the reverse direction' to the front and the printed matter of each of the 1ntermediate pages is printed in the same di'- rection, the printed matter on succeeding? leaves being printed alternately in reverse directions. i

By the arran ement of the printed matter and folding an securing the leaves as above described, l am enabled to produce a newspaper which may be very readily handled and read; l y `the term newspaper ll wish to include all large products of an equivalent nature where the size of the product renthe second page,

page i l mean the largest printed be exposed at one time to whether printed on the front and back printed on one side of one sheet, another page ,printed on one side of another sheet and the remaining pages each printed partly on one sheet and partly on another sheet.

2. A newspaper comprising a plurality of assembled printed sheets having one page printed on one` side of one sheet, v another page printed on one side of another sheet on one sheet an and the remaining pages each printed partly on one sheet and partly on another sheet, the sheets bein folded transversely across the middle of t eir printed pages.

5. A newspaper comprising a plurality of assembled printed sheets having one page -printed on one side of one sheet, another page printed on one side of another sheet and the remaining pages each printed partly on one sheet and partly on another sheet, the printed matter on the front sides of all of the sheets reading in one printed matter on the backsides of all of the sheets reading in the reverse direction, whereby the newspaper may be read from beginning to end by turning the leaves'over successively in the same direction.

6. A newspaper comprising a plurality of as is each of vsuccessivel in the same direction and the `as my invention,

Y'whereby the newspaper may be read from beginning to end by turning the leaves over successively in the same direction, the sheets being folded transversely across the middle of their printed pages.
